Re: [opensuse-factory] ifolder server on 10.3
Older thread from January, but I just wanted to revive it. I haven't seen any action on packaging the ifolder server into the factory release yet. Although, RPMs are available in the BS for 10.2. It would be nice to get a response to this bug.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Bug Day/s Lets Get it going.
Why do you believe that waiting until later is a good idea? Novell/openSUSE are not agile. If the bug day(s) identify anything that will require major changes, it needs to occur BEFORE or during early alpha (like when this idea was first floated several months ago). Waiting until beta is FAR to late to have an impact on 10.3, since things will be frozen. This should not be just house cleaning for bugzilla, this should be a real drive to improve the quality of the release by fixing bugs that have persisted for ages. As it is, I believe there simply is not enough time to handle major fixes and churn before the planned release date in October. This coming week is the PERFECT time to schedule the community triage activity since there are still two alpha releases left before the freezes start happening. I'm going to start Monday afternoon after work from 10.0 and make my way forward. I'll try to put a bug list together tonight. Watch http://en.opensuse.org/Bug:Triage_Day for more information sometime before the close of the weekend. -Ted Alberto Passalacqua wrote: Il giorno ven, 01/06/2007 alle 07.34 -0600, Ted Bullock ha scritto: Now is probably the latest time to run this bug day thing if it is going to have any sizable effect on 10.3.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Bug Day/s Lets Get it going.
Now is probably the latest time to run this bug day thing if it is going to have any sizable effect on 10.3. Alpha period is almost over (only two alpha releases left to make changes in).

Yes! I agree on this. Doing them now is premature in my opinion because too many changes and features still have to be introduced. Regards, Alberto I disagree with this, I think that a bug review should be scheduled as soon as reasonable. While your statements about it being too early are true for the bugs listed against the 10.3 release, the bugs listed against the older releases should really be addressed as quickly as possible so that they stand a chance of making it into the 10.3 at all. If you wait too long on this, they will skip yet another release cycle. I think that the early alpha time frame is ideal to review bugs against the older releases otherwise fixing them might introduce too much churn to be included after a feature freeze.

Re: [opensuse-factory] OpenSUSE, bugs and some considerations
Marcus Meissner wrote: It just helps to be insistent. And if there is no reaction, just bring it up on this list. Personally, I have found that defects that I report on bugzilla tend to disappear into the void and are never acted on and sometimes with little to no response. I hardly expect developers to dedicate themselves to every problem that arises, but something a bit more than a token response would be appreciated. For instance refer to the following bug regarding the ivtv driver which was reported on during the 10.1 beta cycle. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=144616 The problem was reported during the development of 10.1 and still hasn't had a real response from the development team. Even a *Won't Fix* would be an acceptable response, but all pings and questions for the last year have disappeared into the void. These days I don't even see an ivtv package in the factory distribution, but no comments to this effect in bugzilla... Other bugs report the same problem, also with no conclusion https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=130098 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=159186 Maybe a post release bug cleanup activity could help here and in similar instances? Perhaps 2-3 months after a release the developers and community could be organized into a one day bug review of the outstanding bugs for the release and evaluate/assign them properly. For instance I currently see the following: 251 Open bugs for 10.0 683 Open bugs for 10.1 1224 Open bugs for 10.2 Wouldn't it be useful to review all those open bugs from the more recent releases and see if they should be updated to reflect the state of either the current release (10.2) or the factory (10.3), or possibly close them if they represent problems that are negligible in recent releases? Surely the combined effort between the developers and community over the course of a day or two could clean out the bug lists and identify tasks that should genuinely be targeted for fixes. Personally I would be willing to schedule a day or two toward such an activity that I think would improve the quality of defect management in opensuse. I think that the Mozilla lightning/calendar project has the right idea with scheduled community/developer test days. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/2007/03/branch_sunbird_and_google_cale.html Thoughts? -- Theodore Bullock, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineering Student, University of Calgary GPG Fingerprint = 3B8E 8B0E D296 AACB 7BE2 24F2 1006 B7BE C8AC 5109 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse-factory] ifolder server on 10.3
What else is necessary to get the ifolder server package into the distribution for 10.3? At the moment I am rather oblivious to how this process works... I would guess that the following needs to happen: 1. Create a package (or use something from the ifolder team) 2. Check that it will fit on the media 3.
